How long have you been running? Since high school.
What made you decide to begin running? Mr. Herer, my high school Latin teacher, and our group after-school runs to the local beach instead of PE class. (My high school didn't have PE.)
Did you run competitively in high school? No.
Did you run competitively in college? No.
When / why did you join SRR? I joined on 1/6/06; have been running along the Charles since moving back to the Boston area, but wanted to meet and run with other runners.
Total number races: Between 8 and 10, previous to joining SRR, not including Khoury's runs.
Favorite race (and why): Around the Cape 25K because with the hills and the length, it was the most difficult run I've done; also, the Crescent City Classic 10K in New Orleans because I was able to run through the different sections of the city with thousands of other runners.
Favorite race distance: 10K.
Favorite running shoe: Brooks Radius
Average miles per week: 15-20
Average MPW ever: 35
Best running memory: Finishing the Cape Ann 25K.
Worst running memory: Completely forgetting that going too fast up hills give one cramps, and cramping up at mile 6 of that same race.

Running PR's (when and where):
         Khoury's: 28:15 (January 6, 2006)
